USF assistant leaves for Florida
Mere days after completing his first recruiting class as a USF assistant, former Bulls secondary coach Corey Bell is leaving the school for a position at Florida.
Bell, who coached at two Miami high schools and FAU, helped USF reel in a trio of three-star players from state champion Carol City on National Signing Day.
With the departure of Bell, Strong will have three coaches left to hire.
Spring practices begin March 6.

Babinec’s 8:25.89 finish in the 3000m was good for the second fastest in USF history while Holifield won the weight throw with a personal record of 61-feet 3-inches, good for third-best in school history.
The Bulls will compete at the Hoosier Hills in Bloomington, Indiana, from March 17-18.
